The wheat market was very arm yester day with a. considerable amount of business 'reported on California and milling account. Oats and barley maintained their former strong position. Tho attendance at the Merchants Exchange was the largest since the sessions began and taxed the capacity of the room. The export wheat situation Is still un satisfactory.

There was the same pressure on the part of growers to sell In the face of a slack demand as was apparent earlier In tlie week. No business for Ameri can export account was reported. Mall ad vices from California noted oales of Sacra xnentoa at 4 and 5 cents. The New lork hop market is reported by the TA'atervllIe Times of November 27. as follows: The holiday has rather Interefered with the market this week, which Is reported to be a little slower. There Is no change In the firmness with which the choice hops are held hereabouts and the dealers say their offers for these still stand. Wherever a lot of the better hops can be found they are picked Tip by our dealers at about 124 cents, but these are hard to find and It is necessary to go Into other towi.s to nil or ders of this kind. The poorer grades can be picked up a little under previous rate, as thus far there has been little- demand for this quality. London trade reports bearing dates of November 1 to IS, follow: Wild. Neame Co. The scarcity of choice hops on our market has Induced a better Inquiry for other descriptions, the best of which are being taken at rather more money than has yet been obtainable. Cattley. Grldley A Co. The feature of the hop market Is the extreme scarcity of choice hops, and there still being a demand for such, second-grade qualities ara quick ly taking their place. There Is an Improved Inquiry for medium and lower-class hops, which continue to be offered at the lowest figures experienced ror some years. Foreign markets are rathar more active for best hops, and prices remain unchanged. Manger Henley A steady demand con tinues for the best grades of medium Oold Incs. tie scarcity of which buyers begin to realise, and prices for these are very firm with a hardening tendency. Bright colory rtops are In strong request and difficult to meet with There Is also more Inquiry for sound, brown, copper hops, values of which are very tempting. W. H. & H. I.eMay Merchants are still searching the market for choice hops and are prepared to pay advanced prices when found. Good sound second qualities are now Inquired for. and even the poorest are find ing buyers at the extreme low prices ruling for such. EG45 SCrrLY IS VERY SMALL But n Few Co a Long War at Current Priees. Eggs continue to be the feature of the country produce market. The supply of Oregon ranch eggs Is small and Eastern rggs are also cleaning up well. Tits result 14 a strong market that would advance further, but for the fact that the high j. rices have materially checked consumption. Oregon ranch eggs were quoted yesterday lit 42S045 cents. Eastern storage at 30 3 t-S cents and Eastern fresh at S3 cents. Poultry was firm with a good Inquiry for Mr-kens and ducks at the prices last cj noted. Firmness was reported In the butter and cheese markets. Large-Siaed Orange Are Scares. There was little of Interest to report In the fruit and vegetable markets yesterday. Japanese oranges moved freely at the price established Wednesday. California oranges were also In good demand and large sizes Tere very scarce. There was a moderate movement In apples. Grapes are slowly cleaning uo. Among the vegetable receipts was a shipment of California hothouse cu cumber quoted at $1.25 per box. California Canned Good Advancing. The upward tendency In California canned foods Is the feature of the grocery trade at this time. Gallon standard tomatoes have advanced 30 cents per case since the open ing and are now quoted at 12.40 at San Francisco, while gallon peaches and apricots have advanced .30 cents per case and are very firm.

LITTLE PRESSURE TO SELL Market Entirely In the Hands of Professional Traders Money on Call Advances to 3 Per Cent Bonds Irregular. NEW YORK. Dec. S. The constant fluc tuations in today's sto-k market made It purxling to discern the prevailing tone of the speculation. The pressure to sell was much less pronounced than late yesterday. This fact formed the basis for some efforts to get prices to a high level, which as often were frustrated by the dying out of the de mand as prices got higher. On the occasion al declines there developed a sufficient de mand to check the tendency and rally prices The constant"xhanee In the course of the price movement afforded a harvest for the traders who were sufficiently agll to turn with the tide. Their pronts, how ever, were largely at the expense of other traders less agile. The dealings - were al most wholly In the hands of professionals. News of the day hid not record any marked changes In the influences governing prices. The money market showed a firmer tone, which developed earlier In the week )n connection with the settlements, the requi sition In banking resources on account of new securities Issued and the gold export. Call loans advanced to 3 per cent. Govern ment operations through the Fubtreasury. have taken from the banks alnee the last bank statement $.1,OS2.000, including a withdrawal of Government deposits with the banks early In the week. Payment for the gold shipped to France today Is not in cluded in the withdrawals to date. The slight effect produced on the foreign exchange market .by the gold shipment makes It evi dent that further shipments -will be made. New bond issues continue to be announced and bankers report a large demand for their offerings, indicating the good appetite of capital for these investments. There was selling here of stocks for for eign account in spite of the easier tone of the London discount market, based on the failure to advance the official discount of the Bank of England. Incoming reports of railroad new earnings for October Indicate that the September rate of Improvement iwas not fully main tained at that time, either In the gross or the net, the decrease In gross being larger and the Increase In net by curtailment of operating expenses smaller than in the earlier comparisons. The latest returns of gross earnings for November also, although comparing -with the period last year when the depression began to make Itself felt, show no growth In the rate of Increase over earlier periods. The earlier movement to market of both grain and cotton is supposed to be respon sible in part for the slowing down In the. rates of traffic The lull" In the Iron trade and In copper Is of similar import and the low price of silver Is an additional con sideration bearing on the metal and mining stocks. United States gteel sold below 54 for the first time sjnee the week of the National election. No reason was given for the special strength shown by the Gould group. Great Northern preferred and a few others. In most cases, last prices were but little changed from the day before. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $5,578,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing High. Low.

J, FAILS TO RESPOND European Markets Not Affect ed by Bulge at Chicago. SHUTS OFF ENTHUSIASM Big Wheat Holders Are Moderate Sellers, but Covering by Shorts Causes Slight Advance in Prices Late in Day. CHICAGO. Dec. 3. The wheat market to day lacktd the bullish enthusiasm which had been manifested the two previous ses sions and the trade during the greater part of the dav was Inclined to drag. The high poirt for the May option was registered a short time prior to the close and again on final transactions was noted. At the same time, the July delivery equalled the high mark set yesterday, but the December dellverv failed to reach, by an eighth of a cent, yesterday's record of $1.06. There was no evidence todny of any support from the leading bulls, but, on tho contrary, it was claimed that the big hold ers were moderate sellers here and in the Northwestern markets. The upturn late In the day was due chiefly to covering by shorts. The unresponsive tone of Euro pean grain markets was one of the main weakening Influences, prices In nearly all of those markets being lower, with Liver pool showing a decline of Hd. An official prediction of rain or snow for a large part of the Winter wheat belt In this country was another bearish factor. The principal bullish Influence was the decreased move ment In the Northwest. Corn was weak easly, but decided strength developed later. Final quotations on De cember were 63'4c and May WmffdSU. Oats closed stronger at the highest point of the day with prices up i(&14c. De cember closed at-40Mio and May at 524 52 to o. Provisions were dull and weak.

The first unit of tho Sunnvside project of the Reclamation Service In Yakima Valley, Washington, is completed, and will supply water to 11 590 acres in J909. This area is roughly divided into the following Mbton Division 24S9 acres Main Canal Extension Division. . .3916 acres Lands served under water rental system j1Sj acrM During the prosecution of Govern ment work in this valley, the settle ment of land has" progressed very rapidly, and all the . public land em braced in this unit is now entered. Land values have been increasing steadilv, owing to the heavy crop yields and first class markets for farm products. Extraordinary yields of ap ples and pears are reported this year. This valley is attracting a surge num ber of scientific fruit-growers from many parts of the country. The irrigable lands are in townships 8 and 9 north, ranges 22. 23, 24 and 25 east, and plats showing the loca tion and area of the various farms which may be entered under the pro visions of the homestead laws and irrigable lands in private ownership are on file in the local land office at North Yakima, Wash. The water right charges are divided into two parts, namely, for building the works and an annual charge cov ering the cost of operation and main tenance. The part for building the works has been fixed at $25 per acre of ' irrigable land, and this may be paid in annual installments of $5.20 per acre or some multiple thereof, with out interest.
